About Fora

Hi, we’re Fora. We’re reimagining the travel advisor industry with fresh eyes, and building a travel agency that is modern, inclusive, tech-enabled and well, cool.

Fora is a next-generation travel platform that, through training and tools, enables anyone to become a travel agent. Fora’s mission is to empower 100,000 entrepreneurs to transform their passion for travel into revenue, and we’re doing it by curating the most incredible experiences for travelers. 

Fora was founded in 2021 by travel entrepreneurs Henley Vazquez, Jake Peters and Evan Frank – who shared one big idea. Since then, we’ve grown to a team of 50+ full-time employees, with an office headquarters in Tribeca, New York City.

We are fortunate to be backed by an incredible group of investors and are looking for more talented and mission-driven individuals to join our team.

• Build and maintain our data analytics infrastructure, unlocking new capabilities and making it easier and more intuitive for users to explore data, create reports, or run sophisticated analysis.
• Initiate analyses and deliver business insights that lead directly to process and product improvements.
• Set measurable and strategic goals, and build new measurement and optimization capabilities.
• Help foster Fora’s data and experimentation culture by mentoring, training, and improving data literacy across the organization.
